We have a HUGE Basket Bonanza Silent Auction. We raffle off over 350 theme baskets (such as Chocolate Lovers, Family Game Night, Vikings, Garden Supplies, etc.) And over 100 gift certificates to local businesses. This is a very popular event for all of the adults who attend.

Is the Haunted House scary?

Yes, our Haunted House is scary. We do not recommend it for young children. If your child wants to go thru it, we recommend that you accompany them. Children have to pay admission, but parents are free.

What is the Wizard of Oz?

Dorothy will take you on a journey down the Yellow Brick Road, if you can get past the tornado. On your journey you will see Munchkin Land, meet some interesting friends (the Scarecrow, the Tin man & the Lion) before coming to the Emerald City. But beware, because there may be a Wicked Witch that tries to interfere with your plans. You don’t want to miss this. Children have to pay admission, but parents are free.

Is there an admission cost to the Carnival?

No, entrance to the carnival is free. To play the games/activities you need to purchase tickets.

How do I get tickets?

The week before Carnival we have a pre-sale for tickets at each of our elementary schools. Reminder notes will be sent home with students. You may also purchase your tickets at the door.

How much do tickets cost?

Tickets cost 50 cents each. The games vary in cost, with most of them costing 1 to 2 tickets to play.

How does the prize system work?

When you purchase your tickets, you will also receive a stamp card. The games vary in what you win. Some things you just play for fun (example: Inflatables, Haunted House). Some games you can win a prize right away (example: Fish Pond or the Duck Pond). Some games you can win a “stamp” on your card (example: Tuff Putt, PLINKO). When you are done playing, you may take your stamp card to the Prize Center and cash in your “stamps” for a bigger prize.

What is the Gold Coin?

You can win “Gold Coins” to be turned in at the “Gold Coin Booth” for a chance at a raffle for one of our BIG prizes. This year the gold coin winners will walk away with a Xbox Kinect, an iPod, a Nintendo DSi, a Smart Cycle for Toddlers, an Amazon Kindle or a Valley Fair Season passes (2 gold level).

How can I donate to the carnival?

All of the students in each elementary will be bringing home info about their classroom’s basket theme assignment. We ask that you help donate products to help create your child’s classroom basket. The generous donations of our parents is what makes our basket auction a huge success.

Thank you for supporting our schools.
